What format is your data in? Plain text? What does it look like? If it
is simply "x y z" then you can use:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Read_a_simple_%22xyz%22_file_of_points

If you want to do the reading very manually you can use:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Read_a_plain_text_file_into_a_polydata

If the file is highly structured (delimited) you can use:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Read_a_delimited_file_into_a_polydata

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

David
